Default rear end swap question.

Can a 2001 ws6 rear end be swapped into a 99 z28? Will abs and traction control still work? I have a 2.73 rear now and found a decent deal on a 3.73 figured swapping the whole thing is easier then me doing a gear change.

A 2001 ws6 rear end can be swapped into a 99 z28. ABS and Traction Control will work if the replacement rearend has 4channel setup,if not,neither ABS & TC will work.

No way I can swap over my 4 channel setup onto the other rear end? Is $250 for the rear end a good price?

If the other rear is 3 channel,putting your axles and backing plates into/onto it will convert it to 4 channel. Still an easier swap than a complete gear change / rebuild !
